About this episode
The Malaysian economy grew 5.4% in the first quarter of 2026, but cooling domestic spending and a global supply shock threaten to slow momentum for the remainder of the year.

We discuss the Malaysian economic outlook with Julia Goh, Senior Economist, UOB. Image Credit: ShutterstockSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
